The People's Republic of Pradovnia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Dear Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 13.467 billion Pradovnians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaflograd. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Pradovnian economy, worth a remarkable 3,002 trillion Pradloks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 222,929 Pradloks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol, every conceivable scenic location has been completely booked by couples desperate to marry, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pradovnia's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pradovnia is ranked 3,901^st in the world and 392^nd in The North Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 107.35 Bank.
